Context & Challenge

Roots AI, formerly Roots Automation, was an early-stage cognitive process automation company when CEO Chaz Perera reached out to Revenue Institute. Focused on intelligent automation for financial services and insurance, Roots had grown through founder connections - but that wasn't scalable. The company needed to reach C-Suite executives at mid-market and enterprise insurance companies with an automated, yet deeply personalized, sales system.

The Challenge

Roots was a well-funded startup targeting a very specific and painful objective: automate insurance companies' back-office and administrative tasks. While VC-backed, the company didn't have the capital or desire to hire dozens of sales and marketing professionals. That made growth extremely difficult when incumbents had billions to spend on marketing inferior technology. Leadership was expert at complex cognitive automation in insurance - but not at automating enterprise sales.

Our Solution

Revenue Institute started by learning the Roots business intimately - automating an enterprise sales cycle requires understanding every nuance of it first. Revenue Institute acted as an outbound sales function, from lead generation through negotiating and closing multiple enterprise insurance accounts. After this initial period, Revenue Institute developed custom BDR, Ops, Intel, and Marketing Agents that could identify in-market prospects and reach out in ways that resonated with C-Suite insurance executives. This resulted in filling the calendars of Chaz and leadership to the point that they needed to hire a VP of Enterprise Sales and build a team of high-level closers.
